Allegra Airways, powered by Ambee, is the world’s first navigational tool for allergy sufferers. We’re proud to announce that on June 17th, it won a Silver Lion in the Health and Wellness category at the prestigious Cannes Lions Awards.
This amazing recognition not only highlights the creative impact of climate-powered tools but also their necessity. As climate change-induced health impacts become more apparent, solutions like Allegra Airways serve as a great example of how technology can be used for the betterment of human health.
What is Allegra Airways?
Allegra Airways is a tool built by Ambee and Sanofi for the anti-allergy drug Allegra. It helps users find the safest and healthiest routes for their outdoor activities. From point A to point B, users can find, share, and save routes with the lowest pollution and pollen exposure.
Alongside that, they can also see pollen and air quality forecasts on heat maps, all powered by Ambee’s advanced climate intelligence.
Our partnership with Sanofi began in September of 2023 when initial discussions around such a tool happened. In record time and collaboration with multiple international teams and agencies, we were able to present the pilot at UN Climate Week NYC 23.
Winning the Cannes Silver Lion – The Power of Teamwork
On June 17th, Allegra Airways won a Silver Lion at the prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in the Health and Wellness category. This multi-national and multi-team effort was driven by the goal of helping people feel safe outdoors and breathe easy.
Watch the teams behind Allegra Airways discuss the work that went behind the win.
Since its pan-US launch at SXSW in Texas in March, Allegra Airways has received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. Within the first few weeks of its launch, it garnered over 237 million impressions. Users love the ease of use and the life-changing impact the tool has had on their daily lives.
What’s ahead?
Allegra Airways is now live across the United States, with more than 325k+ routes already created. With more versions and updates on the way, we’ll continue to safeguard human health everywhere.
